President Barack Obama promotes The Hour Of Code!

Computer Science Education Week has begun – and with it, The Hour Of Code! Every student in America should spend one hour learning computer science principles, using the phenomenal programming environment developed by Hadi Partovi’s Code.org.

What does President Barack Obama have to say about it? “Don’t just buy a new videogame, make one. Don’t just download the latest app, help design it. Don’t just play on your phone, program it.”

Watch the President’s video here.
